I think we need a 'Pink Basses' thread in the Porn section.

Looking good!

I quite fancy a pink bass, not that PINK though

[quote name='skidder652003' timestamp='1381622870' post='2241625'] Not clangy but not dead, [/quote] That's what I like about Status strings, I use the Half Rounds and it's a good compromise between flats and round wounds.

Good stuff.

I know people have used the B3 into a power amp, I'd imagine it would work just as well with MS.

I like Steve Lawson's stuff, he does a good deal on a USB stick of all his albums. I did have to stop following him on Twitter though as he can 'arf ramble on

[quote name='hollywoodrox' timestamp='1381428796' post='2239063'] hpw much do you assume shipping would be to each on the chain? [/quote] I guess if there is enough of us and we are well spread out over the country it could be done by meeting up and handing it over to the next person, there may be a few breaks in the chain due to large distances or time constraints that could be filled by couriers.

The Half Rounds do not taper or have exposed cores, I don't know about the other types of strings they make but assume they are the same.

Had a bit of a chat on e-mail with Dave today, I think we were both supposed to be hard at work not talking bass! he's going to hopefully be installing and wiring up the pick-ups at the weekend, he's came up with an alternative to my idea but using the same concept, each rotary pick-up switch will now be: 1.Off 2.Both Coils Parallel 3.Both Coils Series 4. Single coil We also talked about knobs but I'll keep that conversation private for now

[quote name='madshadows' timestamp='1381357466' post='2238171'] Hi Rumble and fellow SE Londoner [/quote] Might be worth posting a topic in the repairs section John, there's some pretty smart folk on here that might be able to help you fix your broken amp.

I bet someone would buy that if you put it up for sale on here, more funds for you bass purchase

Welcome to Basschat! Some basses have frets the same size as guitars if you do some research, a Jazz bass modelled on a 60's Jazz should be just the ticket. You'd get more value for your money buying secondhand from this here forum

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1381336848' post='2237840'] What about using it in a good mood at home!? [/quote] I tried it at home with the volume set as low as I could get it just to make sure it was working OK, sounded warm and bassy but I'll only have a real comparison against the other amps I've tried once I've used it with the band. Ummmm... it looks great, I like the fact you can see the valves

Mine arrived yesterday, I'll not get to use it in anger until November but will report back then.

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' timestamp='1381315524' post='2237341'] No, you can just play it at home or wherever you please [/quote] Phew!

I've never tried them but IK make an iRig Mic and iRig Mic Cast that would work with your iPhone and is a cheap option. http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/cat-view.php?C=mobile

I'd prefer a 5 but will go with the flow.

Thanks for all the nice comments Dave is doing a fantastic job, I'm going to be up in Worcestershire next month so will get to see it it the flesh, there's a slim chance it might even be finished
